Unleash Your Potential: ImpactHope Internships for Change
Welcome to the Engagement Internship Program at ImpactHope! This unique program offers an immersive experience for individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact on communities and desire to gain hands-on experience in a ministry setting. This program is like our Impact Trip Program; however, our Engagement Internship Program allows interns to stay for 1+ months, working closely with our hosts in their day-to-day ministry.
